Where does everyone live? (General area)

I'm excited to start mine because I'm that much closer to surgery. But, I went to the grocery store with my Family yesterday and I was sad walking down the isles. I was sad seeing all the foods I won't be able to enjoy anymore and foods I won't be able to have at all. My husband reminded me that this is for a good reason and I probably won't think about those foods much or any after my new lifestyle.

Yeah, that is difficult for me too. But then I remember that I'm in this position because of my unhealthy relationship with food, and I want change. We can do it :D

That's my thoughts too. My unhealthy relationship with food. I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict and apparently I suck at moderation. It's all our nothing. I have a huge network of support and the closer I get to my day, the more excited I am. We got this!!

Richardson (Dallas area) for now, but basically nomadic since my youngest went to college. I've been traveling so about 50% of my time divided between the US and UK.

Lee's Summit, Missouri (suburb of Kansas City, Missouri).

For those who assume that "Kansas City" is a city in Kansas, here's something that might help to distinguish the two:

Kansas City, Missouri has an International Airport. Kansas City, Kansas has a Greyhound bus depot (or used to anyway.) So, if someone says, "I'm from Kansas City," the wrong response is "Oh, so you're from Kansas. How's Dorothy and Toto?"

Proud semi-lucky Buckeye. Having my RnY in July, in Columbus at OSU-Wexner Medical Center 48 miles SW. of where I live in a city of maybe 20,000 , more if you count the people in the cemeteries. My city is Mount Vernon, the birthplace of Daniel Decatur Emmett who wrote Dixie and the late actor Paul,Lynde. Not me though, I was born 23 miles to the south( Newark Ohio) 72 years ago.

You're a bad widdle girl Lee Summit, I should quote the musical Oklahoma
Everything's up to date in Kansas City
They've gone about as far as they can Go.
Isn't Arrowhead still in Mo, not past the border?
Kansas also contains Kathleen Sebelius, her father is the reason my city is not on an Interstate. Yep,Mr Frustr8 knows the story. John Gilligan was Ohio's governor when they were laying,out the interstates. He was (and in Hades still is) a Democrat. My county, Knox is perpetually Republican, so much so the county people have trouble finding a token Democrat to run, most county offices get courtesy votes come election time. Johnny G. snickered behind,his hand, I'll fix them for not voting for my sweet,self and he did, the nearest any come to,us is 8 miles away, not even a state road going there for an interchange my,neighbors use most the one that is 30 miles away, more than half the way to Columbus, so when I condesend to drive I follow the 3C named for Cleveland-Columbus-Cinncinnati, a state route till it ends at E Broad St and make my way to where I'm going from there. Meanwhile John Gilligan is snickering in Hades in between shovels of Satan's coal. Peppers I do know my local history as well as US and the World🌎

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
